Impending Need to Extend our Research Capabilities rests on Engineering Edcuation

An increasing chorus of complaints about what isn't happening in India's engineering education has emerged during the past ten years. In the engineering field, just 5% of graduates have the necessary skills and competencies. Major initiatives are being made to change engineering education all across the world. It is proposed to enhance the faculty members' performance and their capacity to carry out the globalisation and digitalization of engineering education.

Additionally, there is a need to enhance faculty development through adaptable and blended programmes offered by NITs, State Technical Universities, and NITTTRs, as well as through modernising curricula and instructional design and working in partnership with business and government. The institutions must establish connections with top universities throughout the world and work together on research and development. Institute Industry Government Partnerships are urgently required for curriculum improvement, research methodology advancement, and product innovation.

The difficulties faced by the industries will be presented to engineering students, and they will receive instruction on how to tackle them. Their dissertations and research papers must be applicable to industry. As part of their capstone projects, engineering institutes must also develop novel goods. In the end, engineering education in India needs to create a competency model that focuses on skills and competencies that are relevant to the industry. The 161 research institutes in India, including the Indian Institutes of Technology, the National Institutes of Technology, the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, and a number of others, conduct science and technology research. There are 1,026 universities in India.

National institutes backed by privately owned businesses as well as institutions funded by the government, such as the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, also carry out this research. India's accomplishments in the fields of science and technology are undeniably spectacular, but they could be much more so if we focused more on raising the standard of the research we conduct and expanding the perspectives of universities and colleges that pursue similar endeavours.
